Looking Inside Private Equity and Hedge Funds

Forbes – Perhaps no single building in the world is as much a monument to the rise of private equity and hedge funds as 9 West 57th Street in New York.

Home to private equity giants (KKR & Co. LP and Apollo Global Management LLC), rising stars (Silver Lake Partners) and start-ups (Lightyear Capital and Sycamore Ventures), as well leading hedge fund managers (Och-Ziff Capital Management), this office tower provides an enviable home to many of the most successful practitioners of alternative investing, or at least those willing to pay $200 a square foot for the privilege.
